MutiLoc Nail Versus Philos Plate in Treating Proximal Humeral Fractures: A Retrospective Study Among the Alderly.
Article in Geriatric orthopaedic surgery & rehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundProximal humeral fractures (PHFs) account for 4-5% of all fractures in the elderly. There is still a controversy among the treatments in the displaced PHFs. Our aim was to explore the clinical outcome of PHFs with the treatment of MultiLoc nail or Philos plate in the elderly patients.
methodsA total of 82 sustained elderly patients with PHFs were finally recruited between Dec 2016 and Dec 2017. 34 patients were treated with MultiLoc nail and 48 patients were treated with Philos plate. The demographics, fracture types, blood loss, operation time, union time, postoperative complications, visual analog scores (VASs), Constant scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Scores (ASESs), and neck-shaft-angle (NSA) between the two groups were compared.
resultsNo differences were observed in the demographics, fracture types, VAS, Constant scores, and ASES scores between the two groups at final follow-up. Compared with the plate group, the blood loss, operation time, and union time were significantly lower in the nail group (all
conclusionsMultiloc intramedullary nail showed the similar effectiveness of final VAS, final Constant scores, and ASES scores in PHFs treatment with Philos plate. However, MultiLoc nail is superior to Philos plate in blood loss, operation time, complications, reoperation rate, and the change of NSA.
